In recent years, many resorts have embraced sustainable practices, promoting eco-friendly golf tourism. For instance, some courses now use recycled water for irrigation, maintain natural wildlife habitats, and implement energy-efficient systems to minimize their environmental footprint.
Golf tourism is a major contributor to the Algarve’ s economy. According to the Portuguese Golf Federation, the golf industry generates hundreds of millions of euros annually, both directly through green fees and indirectly via hospitality, dining, and transportation. Golfers are among the highest-spending tourists, typically staying longer and spending more per visit compared to sun-and-sand tourists.
The sector also supports thousands of jobs in course maintenance, hospitality, travel services, and retail. During the off-peak seasons— autumn and spring— golf tourism plays a crucial role in extending the region’ s economic viability beyond the traditional summer months, contributing to year-round employment and stability.
The Algarve regularly hosts prestigious golfing events that attract international attention. The Portugal Masters, held annually at the Dom Pedro Victoria Course in Vilamoura, is part of the DP World Tour( formerly European Tour). This tournament brings together top talent from around the globe and puts the Algarve in the spotlight of the golfing world.
Amateur tournaments are also popular, with many resorts hosting corporate events, charity games, and international amateur championships. These events not only promote the sport but also enhance community engagement and foster international connections.
